Weekend Events In and Around Boulder: February 24-26, 2017

It’s the last weekend in February, Boulder, and there’s a lot going on:

Since Mardi Gras is of course a holiday that falls on Tuesday (as does my birthday!), many mardi gras parties are happening this weekend. One of such is the Guerrilla Fanfare concert at the Lazy Dog this Saturday: rumor has it that members of Boulder Burlesque will be performing with them, and between their sets. Of course, there will be beads and specials on hurricanes all night. Come by and buy me a pre-birthday drink!

Also on Saturday is a very special event hosted by Stories With Spirit, called Storylight. This event will be something to see, as there will be three storytelling performances (geared for three different age groups) over at the Nomad Theatre, and a storytelling workshop the following day. This group is fantastic at what they do, and with the guest artists they’re bringing in? It should be a show the likes of which you won’t forget.

Speaking of stellar performances, the Boulder Public Library is hosting the 7th Annual NoBo Art District Group Show. Artists and performers of all stripes will be showcasing their work all evening, which will add up to a celebration of the arts not to be missed. I’ll be appearing with the Band of Toughs, so come by and watch, enjoy the other arts, and buy me a pre-birthday drink afterwards…

It’s the last weekend of Stout Month, too. Don’t miss the myriad delicious dark brews for the last time at any of the Mountain Sun pub locations, and have fun at the Chop Contest on the last day of the month (that would be a Tuesday, so I haven’t included it in the line-up here, but did I mention it’s my birthday and you should buy me a pint?) as we say goodbye to Stout Month 2017.

As always, if you have an event you’d like for us to include in coming weeks or you know of fun happenings this weekend, be sure to leave it in the comments or send it to us right here in a message.
